Welhart 150mg Capsule

Welhart 150mg Capsule is an antiarrhythmic medication containing the active ingredient Mexiletine. This medication is used to treat irregular heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. It also helps manage the symptoms of myotonia in adults with non-dystrophic myotonic disorders (conditions resulting from genetic defects that affect muscle function). These disorders are characterised primarily by muscle-related symptoms rather than by a specific type of muscular dystrophy. Myotonia refers to a condition in which muscles have difficulty relaxing after contraction. This can result in muscle stiffness or delayed relaxation.
